(The protagonist and Lord Preen step onto the stage, wearing futuristic attire that still retains elements of their original wardrobe)
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTm4y3mhKg
Protagonist: (Looking around at the unfamiliar place) This place... it is so different.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhANDzYy4nh
Lord Preen: (Emphasizing) Æther has changed everything.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKjk81VhlJ
Protagonist: (Confused) Æther?
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MEusuUxRc
Lord Preen: Æther, dear friend, a marvel of our age! A force harnessed from the celestial heavens, powering our contraptions with the might of suspensium and the very essence of the skies.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3xlNAuTy5
Protagonist: (Intrigued) Adapetus Mechanical, the brilliant inventor from the past. How wondrous it would be for him to witness these advancements.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4HrOLBwe9
Lord Preen: Truly, it is none other than Adapetus Æther, the pupil of Adapetus Mechanical, who delves into this new technology.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEWrAJYf4X
Protagonist: (surprised) Adapetus Æther? Another Adapetus? This is most unexpected!
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVEcAl33t7
Lord Preen: Aye, the Adapetus Æther is nothing like his predecessor, the Mechanical. He's plagued by paranoia and nervously tinkers with this new Æther technology.

(The protagonist and Lord Preen walk past the imposing Æther Machine, her wings beginning to glow and hum as they near it)
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpoajkmBdQg
Protagonist: (Surprised) My, these wings do shine and hum most peculiarly.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZLl9JvG0S
Lord Preen: (Observant) Indeed, these wings seem to have a curious connection to Æther-powered devices. Perhaps we should find the Adapetus Æther for an explanation.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4MvS0jt7W
Lord Preen: "Hark, the pursuit of another Adapetus, my dear! Were I bestowed a farthing for each such endeavour, I would rival the entire fortune of Narciss.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbkPJRGAKY
Protagonist: (Deadpan) More Adepti, more enigma. It's as if our lives are scenes in a play.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjaHXBZx71
Lord Preen: (with a wry smirk) Doth it not seen our lives are but scripted for dramatic theatrics?
